That was a very long read, and I’m amazed how detailed the author went into his processes (and rules!) to write it up. I was drawn in when he started going over email headers, and hooked by the time he picked up the phone for a call.

“They” is a pretty broad brush 😭

I understand this will sound crazy. I started running, a lot. A few half marathons per year. It’s a juxtaposition of enjoying the benefits and hating the activity.

The biggest benefit is being able to handle more stress, and deal with the stress better, in general. I tell myself during the first mile (as it’s the most difficult to start), “I am expanding my capacity to endurance stress and suffering” it’s shifted the way I look at problems.

A recent example: I paid a contractor to build a wall to split a room, and to install new flooring on the floor. It looked nice. A year later, I encountered a problem in the bathroom that exposed a leak that’s probably existed since the work was done. The bathroom is being torn apart and completely redone by me. I’m not thrilled, and was absolutely pissed at first, but it’s subsided much faster than it used to. I can’t afford to hire someone again, but I do have another bathroom to use during this process, so it can wait. It’s shifted my perspective, and I’m seeing this now as “expanding a set of skills that can be useful again” instead of completely dreading it. Of course I prefer this didn’t happen 😊 but wishing reality is different doesn’t help anything.

Absolutely yes. I’m very fortunate.

Chrononauts! I loved it like 15 years ago when I started playing board games, and now it feels kind of dated and wasn’t as great as I remembered. I’m gonna give it another try again soon.

Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades?

Class members, estimated in the tens of millions, may receive up to $20 per Siri-enabled device, such as iPhones and Apple Watches.

Seeing as more than half the country uses an iPhone, I can’t imagine getting anywhere near “up to $20”. You’re probably right.

I’m dying 🤣 that’s so damn funny

Yeah, but the restrictions are also getting loosened to fill some of the positions. So we’re getting the people we never thought should be on the police force either 😬 at least that’s the case in Chicago. It makes for a worse experience over time.

Don’t get me wrong, there is so much reform that’s needed still. If there’s an emergency I am calling the police, and I’d like someone who knows what they’re doing to respond.

Oh dang, I’ve been wondering when this would happen.

I’ll check that out, thanks. I think that’s a pretty good idea.

Lovingly hold the dog and do dog-weighted squats

Yeah that’s a solid approach. I like that. Any idea why the Studio displays aren’t as bright as the MBP screens? I haven’t compared them side by side before. I should probably do that.

WOW, that is an insane amount of performance gain 🤯

Alright thanks for the input. Yeah, I have 32gb in my PC and never struggle with usage. I’m happy to see apple finally bumping the base, but it’s still a bit light 😊

I ran a half marathon at the end of September and then complained to my friends how running has ruined my summer and taken over my life. I grew pretty sick of it. So, now that that’s out of my system,I feel refreshed and I laced up and ran 4mi over lunch earlier this week and it was wayyyy harder than it should have been hahaha! Looking like I’ve got some rebuilding to do.

Is there a playbook you find effective to achieve his goal, and what is the timeline?

I find it hilarious that the image is of Google Play and the title used the word “this”. Pretty misleading

The more expensive Bike+ does it, but not the regular one. It’s a hard sell given the price difference.
